Kernel Panic on shutdown/restart (4.4.0-108.131)

[Matija Tomic]

Currently running Ubuntu MATE 16.04.3 on HP Compaq 2230s. The main problem is causing the bug in the latest kernel, 4.4.0-108-generic (4.4.0.108.131). The kernel can be gathered by installing package linux-image-generic (4.4.0.108.113).

By choosing the Shutdown or Restart option, I expected the machine to shutdown or restart. Instead, the Kernel Panic appears in the middle of the process and hangs.

If the machine was suspended (or, at least tried to be suspended), the Shutdown/Reboot option kicks you onto the login screen after the Panic.

The workaround:
After the Kernel Panic appears, force shutdown the machine by holding the Power Button (and then turn on the machine again).
This may be O.K. for the home user (although it is a bit upsetting for some users), but in the business area this can be unpractical.
